Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an innerboot, particularly for sports shoes such as ski boots, roller skates, ice skates, shoes for climbing or shoes for snowboarding.
  • the innerboot For inserting the foot, the innerboot has a slit at the front tibial region of the foot instep and of the metatarsal region.
  • the slit forms two flaps that can be moved apart to insert the foot and are then overlapped to allow to close the shoe.
  • Snowboarding in fact uses a board having bindings for the boot, and the boot can be associated with the board with different orientations. Therefore, if the user, for example according to the particular competition he has to take part in, or according to specific individual requirements, wishes to change the orientation of the boot, this could certainly be done, but at the same time the resting condition of the leg and of the foot would be altered, possibly forming localized pressure regions that are uncomfortable for the user due to the single way of overlapping of the innerboot.
  • the stitching, or other applied elements in fact prevents different mutual overlapping arrangements of the flaps.
  • the aim of the present invention is therefore to solve the described technical problems, eliminating the drawbacks of the prior art, by providing an innerboot for sports shoes having optimum comfort even if the user changes the normal resting condition of the leg and of the foot during sports practice, according to particular technical or personal requirements, such as the different orientation of the boot in snowboarding.
  • an important object is to provide an innerboot in which fit can be rapidly and easily adapted according to the specific orientation of the boot chosen by the user.
  • Another important object is to provide an innerboot which the user can customize to the desired comfort, and in a different manner between the foot and leg regions.
  • Another object is to provide an innerboot that has low manufacturing costs and that can be obtained with conventional apparatus.
  • an innerboot for sports shoes such as ski boots, roller skates, ice skates, shoes for climbing, shoes for snowboarding, characterized in that it comprises a first flap and a second flap, at least one end of each flap being free so that the first flap can overlap the second flap or vice versa.
  • said first and second flaps are constituted by a first portion and a second portion that are separate but contiguous and can be independently mutually overlapped.
  • the reference numeral 1 designates an innerboot usable in particular for sports shoes, such as for example ski boots, snowboarding boots, roller skates, ice skates, or climbing shoes.
  • Said innerboot has, preferably in the front tibial region 2 and in the instep-metatarsal region 3, a slit forming a first flap 4 and a second flap 5 that can partially mutually overlap.
  • said first and second flaps affect both the front tibial region 2 and the instep-metatarsal region 3, whereas in the embodiment shown in figures 3 and 4 the first and second flaps affect only the instep-metatarsal region 3.
  • Said first flap 4 and said second flap 5 have tips, designated by the reference numerals 6a and 6b, that are mutually connected proximate to the toe region 7 without mutually overlapping in any way but so that they are free to allow independent overlapping movements between the first flap and the second flap.
  • the tips 6a and 6b can be joined approximately at the central longitudinal plane 8 of the innerboot; as shown instead in figure 7, the tips 6a and 6b can be formed in points located approximately symmetrically with respect to said central longitudinal plane 8 at the edge 9 of an adapted slot 10 formed transversely with respect to the toe region 7.
  • this allows to reverse the overlap of the first and second flaps, so as to allow the user to preset said overlap according to the orientation that is given for example to a boot in snowboarding.
  • Said reversal can also be repeated without altering the characteristics of the innerboot and always allows optimum user comfort.
  • the innerboot according to the invention is of course susceptible of numerous modifications and variations, all of which are within the scope of the same inventive concept.
  • figures 8 to 15 illustrate another embodiment of an innerboot 101 in which the first flap 104 and the second flap 105 are each constituted by a first portion 111a and 111b that is adjacent to a second portion 112a, 112b.
  • the first portions 111a and 111b affect the front tibial region 102, whereas the second portions 112a and 112b affect the instep-metatarsal region 103.
  • the tips 106a and 106b of the second portions 112a and 112b of the first and second flaps do not mutually overlap and are free, as shown in the previous embodiment.
  • the first and second portions are mutually separated by means of an adapted recess, designated by the reference numeral 113a and 113b, that is formed transversely in a region that is intermediate between the front tibial region 102 and the instep-metatarsal region 103, preferably at the region affected during the forward flexing of the foot.
  • an adapted recess designated by the reference numeral 113a and 113b, that is formed transversely in a region that is intermediate between the front tibial region 102 and the instep-metatarsal region 103, preferably at the region affected during the forward flexing of the foot.
  • first and second flaps and therefore the forming of the first and second portions interrupted by the recess 113a and 113b, allow to obtain the desired mutual and/or alternating overlap of said first and second portions, as shown in figures 8 to 15, thus offering the user a further choice for comfort.
  • Figures 16-19 show an innerboot 201 according to a further aspect of the invention.
  • the innerboot 201 is substantially similar to the innerboot 101 but for the instep region 203 which, in this case, is not covered by flaps.
  • Innerboot 201 is provided with first portions 211a and 211b at the tibial region 202, and with recesses 213a and 213b.
  • Portions 211a and 211b can be overlapped in two different manners, as illustrated in figures 16, 17 and figures 18,19 respectively, and as described above for innerboot 101.
  • Figures 20,21 show an innerboot 301 according to still a further aspect of the invention.
  • Innerboot 301 is very similar to innerboot 101, as illustrated in figures 14,15 and described above.
  • Innerboot 301 has a first portions 311a and 311b overlapping at the tibial region 302 and recesses 313a and 313b.
  • Innerboot 301 also has second portions 312a and 312b overlapping at the instep region 303.
  • the outer overlapping portion 312b is connected to the body of the innerboot by a transversal stitching 333.
  • the materials and the dimensions that constitute the individual components of the innerboot, as well as the dimensions of the first and second flaps, of the first and second portions, and of the recesses, as well as their location, may of course be the most pertinent according to the specific requirements.
